Pitts S-12
In reference to the BigModels Pitts S-12, is the available kit the 35% airplane for a 150CC motor of the 41% for the 200CC motor?
Reference the same airplane, what are the results in the air? Quality, honest flying airplane suitable for IMAC and freestyle/3D? Quality build? Properly strong and light? Precise in the air?
Thanks,
Mark

RE: Pitts S-12
Well, I got to watch Sebastiano Silvestri (sp?) fly Bob Trueworthy's new 41% Model 12 (the lighter one) at Joe Nall and they're ain't no question that it does 3D very well. Silvestri did some pretty spectacular flying with it (was to me at any rate). He Harrier'd it in for his final landing with about a 3 mph forward speed, touched the tail and put the mains on the runway smooth and pretty as you please. It rolled about 4 feet. Since I don't fly IMAC I couldn't say how it would do for competition.
I think Bob has a DA-150 in that one.
It's a great design - very straight forward, strong, and not difficult to build. I used his 35% plans to build a 25% version powered by a Moki 210 that flies very well.
